Everton have received an immediate ten point deduction, too lenient, should also be banned from buying players for two years, also should receive a heavy fine with the money going to clubs that were relegated in their place, (not Leeds)
Everton have admitted breaking ffp but tried to underplay by how much, Leicester will be very much aggrieved & rightly so & will likely be seeking compensation.I have to totally disagree, we didn't deserve this, other clubs, namely Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea have just got away with a wrist slap
It’s not so much the “losing” it’s the spending on players.Question. If they have been deducted 10 points for losing too much money over the last 3 years, will this points deduction be likely to make them lose even more money? If so, are the FA complicit in their making losses greater?
No other team in the history of the Premier league has had a 10 points deduction.Everton have admitted breaking ffp but tried to underplay by how much, Leicester will be very much aggrieved & rightly so & will likely be seeking compensation.
As far as I’m aware Man City & Chelsea are still being investigated & there is talk of a two division relegation if found guilty.
As regards to using other clubs as a yard stick, it doesn’t work, Leeds went into administration & received a 15 point deduction followed by a ten point deduction, no other club has been so heavily penalised for going into administration, at the time as I recall there were only four teams out of the whole four divisions that supported Leeds appeal.
As Everton have been found guilty of cheating they should just suck it up & realise they’ve got off lightly, they should have received a transfer ban.
The points deduction that Leeds had wasn't in the Premier league.Leeds were deducted 10 points in 2006/07 then a further 15 points in 2007/08, Luton Town suffered the biggest points deduction of 30 which saw them disappear from the EFL, took them a while but they are back in the Premier league.
By ignoring ffp Everton have bought players they weren’t legally in a position to do so, these players have kept them in the Premier league at the expense of Leicester & Burnley the previous season.
I believe clubs take out insurance on players regarding career ending injuries or legal issues etc, so whilst they won’t have got £20m they will have recouped some of it.The points deduction that Leeds had wasn't in the Premier league.
As I said previously I don't agree with point deductions due to bad finance management, Reading are going through the same problem.
Fine clubs or impose a transfer ban but don't deduct points, not fair on fans or players.
The 6 Premier teams who wanted away had a small fine and no points deduction because of whom they were
It didn't help the fact we had a player who was under investigation from the police (since been told no charges) but we had to keep paying his wages, couldn't sell him and by the time he was cleared he was out of contract and walked away, if we could have sold him he would have been worth £20 million plus
Isn’t that like saying that someone who is , say, jailed for theft more likely to commit further theft once they get out of jail?Question. If they have been deducted 10 points for losing too much money over the last 3 years, will this points deduction be likely to make them lose even more money? If so, are the FA complicit in their making losses greater?
I think it is fair to say Man City have lawyered up and brought proceedings against them Down to a snails pace. Sadly much of justice in the 21st century comes down to who employs the best lawyers.N to a snails paceThe other interesting "watch this space" is going to be if/when other club(s) press the lawyer button, if they feel they've been financially damaged by Everton's actions.
If they do it'll be through civil courts, not league committees or enquiries so the league loses its control of the narrative.
The problem is that as supporters it isn’t ‘our club’ despite the passion we feel. It is a business same as any other business and as such the business gets the punishment. As such I don’t have an issue with points deduction - that, no doubt, will be reduced on appeal. Juventus, Marseille, Glasgow Rangers and others have suffered far, far worse punishments elsewhere for various transgressions.The points deduction that Leeds had wasn't in the Premier league.

It is an assumption, i may be right, I may be wrong. It is the first case of it’s type so no precedent to follow.Why do you assume it will be reduced on appeal? Leeds appealed their (then record) 15 points deduction & 75% of clubs voted against them,, at that time the words from Leeds were “wait until you are in this position”
